Hello every one 2011 GL350 diesel Does any one know where is the starter relay located? was trying to google it yesterday and can't seem to find it.
i suppose it's in the fuse box under the hood Thanks in advance!
a few months ago i had it not starting randomly from the first try
and after searching ended up taking the ignition lock apart and soldering back failed pins.
after that she was starting and running fine till last week.
here are the pictures of said pins i soldered back to the board.
hope it'll help some one with similar issues.
subscribe to MB WIS for the correct info as your girlfriend wont have the answer
Found it: it's the first relay on the left in fuse box under the hood.
Starter didn't work after jumping contacts.
jumping solenoid contacts didn't work either
...so starter removal is in progress and it's a pain the the neck to remove...

I removed the starter yesterday. no brainer really, takes about 1.5 - 2 hrs
Was kinda hard to remove a heatshield and a "+" cable because of limited space.
Took it apart and found two out of four brush wires fell off.
brushes themselves almost gone!
can not believe it happened on a vehicle with only 150K kms!
on a top one of the springs fell apart so two brushes didn't make contact at all.
I'm going to order a new one: it's $125 on Amazon.
PS. The black crap You see here is not dirt, it's a graphite grease. and there's a lot of it!
PS again. i read the post You recommended and apparently procedure on gl450 is different from GL350.
my heatshield is held by the bolt on top of engine mount and to gain access to it i jacked up the right suspension to make a larger opening
also I removed the large heat shield from inner fender liner, probably could've done w/out it but it certainly made my life easier.
